Point of contact:

Schemes:

The East Sussex County Council provides a condensed list of small and large grant opportunities in the East Sussex area on their dedicated 'Key Funding Sources' page.

The Council offers a quality checking service through their External Funding team and an 'Applying for Funding' guide is available at the following link.

No information about grants specific to council is currently available.

Many local authorities are now moving away from grant-making and beginning to use commissioning as a way to distribute funding to the third sector. Local commissioners can be difficult to find and identify, however NAVCA have created a guide that may help: 'Finding your Commissioner'

Voluntary Sector Funding Pages:

Advice is available from the council about external sources of funding by contacting the funding team or by referring to its 'Funding News' newsletter. Provision is also made to allow VCS groups access to the GRANTnet funding database.

Further information about all of these is available through the following link: External Funding

Our ratings are by no means a final verdict, just a starting point to begin discussions about the voluntary sector’s experience of government funders. We are inviting all subscribers to share their experiences and contribute to the DSC Funder Rating. If you can help, please email us at ratings@governmentfunding.org.uk.
